I always see the Chicago Thread and I always feel that there should be an NYC thread due to the fact that I think alot of us are in the NYC and Westchester. Let me know what you think.

I can never really find great deals on games in the city, there are GREAT restaurants w/ GREAT food, On Saturday, I ate at Calle Ocho on Columbus and 81st, they have AMAZING Cuban Food
 
what do you mean I give you life.

Is there anyone else on CAG in NYC, that shares my love of Argentinian, Cuban, Caribbean Food.
I can't remember where these places are

For Argentinian Food-

Chimichurri Grill
Novecento

For Cuban Food-

Calle Ocho

For Carribean Food-

Cabana (I think its called that)



I also like to go shoot billiards at one of the many Amsterdam Billiard Halls, a bit expensive though.
 
[quote name='he1neken28']westchester here as well....stay away from the Galleria!!![/QUOTE]

Why should we stay away from the galleria, I was thinking of maybe paying a visit to the gamestop there, and it doesn't look as dumpy as it used to.

There was a stabbing there last week. Freak incident ignore it.

Here we consider the Westchester the rich peoples mall and the galleria the poorer one, I like the atmosphere of the galleria better.
 
The Westchester doesn't really have any game stores though except for fye and the sony store which has rediculous prices, the only reason I go there is to eat at PF Chang's which has kickass chinese food.

Sony Store?
 
The Sony Store is fairly new I think, its basically just normal priced sony products, cameras, laptops, cd players, mp3 players, headphones, and anything else sony.

Their prices are basically the same that you would pay anywhere else.
 
I haven't been to the Westchester in a while but smalien1 is right, it is considered the rich people mall. I think my friend said he saw Bobby Bonilla there once shopping with his wife and daughter.
 
Yea, The Westchester is an upscale mall, and the Galleria is nowhere as upscale as the Westchester, but the Galleria doesn't look like trash anymore.
 
[quote name='Ozzkev55']Im in Nassau county, around 15 minutes from queens[/QUOTE]

I second that. Except 30 mins from Queens. :p

Nassau, cool...anywhere near Merrick?
 
[quote name='encendido5']This is a great idea. I was wondering why we didn't have one. It would be so easy to do trades and stuff since we're all in the area.[/QUOTE]

encendido5, where do you live in the Bronx? I used to live in Parkchester, near Castle Hill.
 
[quote name='Ozzkev55']Nassau, cool...anywhere near Merrick?[/QUOTE]

Somewhat, I used to live in Oceanside, now I live in Island Park (1 town over), near Long Beach.
 
[quote name='encendido5']Apparently they're putting up a Best Buy on 5th and 43/44th. Now I won't have to trek all the way to 86th to get anything.[/QUOTE]

There is a Best Buy at 6th & 23rd. I used to go there all the time when I was working on 6th Ave
 
Dominican with about a hundred Carribean restaurants around me up In the Platano Section of Washington Heights NYC 3 minutes from the GWB, currently at BMCC only deals out here is NO TAX on games at a Korean game store on a 184th & St. Nicholas Ave, I have a Tax off perk at another store and that Bytch Ms.Kim at the 181st st. Astral Mart Plaza wont cut anyone slack on the tax, NY taxes Suck, and my fave is Millenium Games on W.173rd St. btw Wadsworth & St Nich, all new or old used games are 50% of retail value, so $50 = $25 used and so forth. picked up tons of games there.

I take the 6 to Middletown Rd. there is a little store by you on the same strip where KFC, Payless, Mcdonalds is. Is it any good. I know they have used games and stuff.
 
Born In Brooklyn. Raised in the Southside of Williamsburg. It wouldnt be such a bad idea to a NYC CAG meetup

Nice, I used to go to Pelham Bay Park all the time, fun place to be. Damn... it's been a while since I went back to the Bronx, felt like forever.

I live in Manhattan right now.
 
Blockbuster on 33rd Street (between 3rd and Lex) in Manhattan is having Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all used games. In addition, they are clearing out a bunch of disc only games (mostly Gamecube) for $9.99 each.

Some good titles, such as:
Super Smash Bros.
Pikman 2
Mario Kart Double Dash
Rebel Assault III
Metroid Prime

Some xbox titles too:
Madden 2005
KOTOR II


I hid a nice stash on the second shelf from the top, far left.

I concur...but theres got to be some food involved, I aint spending a day at ebgames. Wo hop's in chinatown is good, or maybe even that pizza place Difera's in midwood. Just a thought...

Thanks for the heads up Cheapy. I'll have to check it out on Monday.

If anybody wants PoP:WW or Baten Kaitos for $10, my friend was able to successfully PM them at the Best Buy in the village (forget the exact address) using only a printout of the Circuit City website. There were still 2 copies left of each. Just make sure to adjust the margins so that the OOS part on the right side doesn't show.
 
Just as a heads-up, an excellent new indy videogame store opened up in Mt. Kisco in Westchester called Video Game Express...good prices and a good selection too.
 
Westchester here. Sounds like I'm not near any of you.. and I'm not taking a train into the city to hook up with a few cags. It's always nice to know that a fellow cag I may be chatting with may live near me though.
 
The Blockbuster on 34th btw 3rd/Lex just got a fresh shipment of $9.99 disc only games. Some good titles including GT4, Midnight Club III (PS2/Xbox), and Outrun II. I picked up Jade Empire (last one).

There is a sign that says 25% off, but it didn't ring up.

Aren't you supposed to be in another continent?

I can confirm this for a blockbuster in Long Island (nassau). They had God of War, Halo 2, Splinter Cell: CT, Jak III, Lego Star Wars, all for 9.99 + 25% off. I got a bunch of these (spent about $45) and traded them in for $120 at EB games while they still had the $5 for 5 promotion. God of War still goes for a $25 trade-in.
